Major water loss is occurring from the concrete storage tank in division 1 and to a lesser degree from the wooden tank in division 3. Efforts last week were put into installing water flow meters in division 1 so it could be determined where the largest water loss is occurring.
We now know the major loss in division 1 is somewhere between the “roundabout” junction of E Cascade and Mountain Loop and 630 feet east (upriver) on E Cascade.
Next Steps Happening This Week
This week, additional water flow meters will be installed in division 2 or 3 to isolate the major source of leaks from the wooden tank. Once the leaks in division 2 or 3 have been repaired, work will begin to install a new main water line section on E Cascade.
This order of events is necessary because during the estimated 2 weeks to replace the line in division 1 almost the entire Park will be using the wooden tank to get their water.
Because of the size of the leaks occurring, we are in an emergency situation regarding water distribution until further notice and the boil water notice is still in effect.
As operations are underway, water will be shut down at various time during the day in some areas of the Park. Pixie will give advance notice as much as possible.
Please rest assured the people and companies working to resolve this emergency are highly qualified and motivated to perform the necessary work in a safe, legal, and expeditious manner. If you have any questions, please email the board of directors.
